Tl,c anternational Yacht Races.

The races that will be sailed this month
over the course of the New York Yacht Club
promise to excel any that have ever been
known in the history of aquatic contests
Should the new sloop Volunteer be chosen
al the cup defender an exciting and closely
contested race may be assured. Public in
tereet in the yachts seems to increase as the
time of the contest draws near, and every
movement of the Scotch cutter Thistle is
eagerly watched. The mystery surround
ing her hull below the water line adds no
little to the interest manifested on all sides,
but in short time Captain Barr will be
forced 10 have his cutter hauled out, for her
bottom has become very foul, and the secret
so carefully guarded on both sides of the
Atlantic will then belevealed.
Before the races are sailed contests TO de-
eide the cup defender will take place. Tue
first race will he sailed September 49, at ten
q. M, over the inside course of the New
York Yacht Club; the second race, Septem.
her 10, twenty miles to wiudward or lee
ward and return from Scotland Ligbtship;
and the third race September II, over trl-
angular outside course, starting from Scot
land Lightship Besides these dates the
Americas Cup Committee, if they SO elect,
have the option of ordering the sloops TO sail
also on the Nth, 16.h and 18th OF
September. The sloops Puritan, Pris-
ella and Atlantic have Withdrawn from
participation in the trial races, so that
the contest for the selection of competitor
for the Thistle is narrowed down to the Vol
unteer and Mayfiower. After the last race
is over and the defender of the cup" Sc
lected it will be officially announced by the
committee, together with the terms Of the
challenge and its acceptance. The interna-
tional races for the cup will then be sailed,
barring unavoidable accidents to either
yachts, as follows: First race, September 81,
at ten q. M, over inside course of New York
Yacht Club. Second race, September 90,
twenty miles to windward or leeward and
return from Scotland oil Sandy Hook Light
ship, as will be determined on the morning
of the race. Third race, October 1, over q
triangular course of forty miles, starting at
Scotland Lightship. The courses and sail.
ing directions will be the same as those laid
down for the trial races"

line, 90 feet water-line beam, about II feet
draught and of 1876 tons displacement. The
Volunteer is SIS feet 10 inches water-line, %
feet inches waterlne beam, 10 feet draught
and ZIG tons displacement. The ballast is
given as nearly the same for both, the This.
tie having but three tons more than the

more canvas than the Thistle
